4 p.m

The wind and sand in the ramparted area were very strong, and it was located near the ruins of a large metropolis in the past, and most of the people were carrying their belongings and began to move towards some of the vehicles parked on the outskirts of the city.

"Hurry up."

A man with a gun standing on the top of a minivan shouted as a century-old city to the northeast has become the largest gathering place for criminals, home to nearly 10,000 criminals.

Most of the people are now living in a stable place now, water and food are brought every month, and most of them are waiting for the city to calm down and then sneak back to the city from the west and north, but now they need to escape, and the department's clearance of the ramparts has begun.

A few hours ago, you could see the constant appearance of different colored flares and explosions in the distance, and no one wanted to be caught, let alone die, but now they had to move towards the barrier to avoid the sweep directly.

Cars full of people and goods have begun to move towards the remote northeast, and some people are hesitating, because life in the barrier area is unimaginable for them, and some people have only stayed for a few months and are completely unbearable, but after watching the people who keep fleeing this ruined city, many hesitants still choose to continue to flee.

There were people fleeing to this side, and now everyone knew that the department was really here, that if they resisted, they would be shot, and the number of cars on the edge of the city was getting smaller and smaller, and many people had begun to leave on foot with their luggage.

"Aren't you running? Lao Cheng. ”

A man with a scar on his cheek, who looked to be old, sat comfortably at the door of a small building in the middle of the city, drinking and smoking a cigarette, looking drunk.

"Run? Where can you go? ”

The man laughed, and after a few seconds of hesitation, the young man who asked the question ran briskly with something on his back, and some people passing by were wondering why the man didn't plan to run, and some people who knew him would still ask a word or two.

The man doesn't want to run anymore, he has been running all his life, the man is just 80 years old this year, and he has been running since he was in his 10s, and the first half of his life has been spent in the barrier area, although he has witnessed the development of the city in the second half of his life, he feels that he can also enjoy the light of the times, but unfortunately, this is just a man's delusion, and there is still not much change from the past life.

In the end, the man committed the crime again, but he had just come out of prison for less than 1 year, he chose to escape to this place where he had lived for a long time, but now the man does not want to run away, his eyes are full of determination, he picked up an automatic rifle next to the chair, began to take out the magazine, and loaded the bag of bullets one by one, he smiled helplessly, took a sip of wine violently, and took out some good things that he had hidden privately, intending to enjoy the last meal in his life.

On a street not far away, a thin woman, carrying a child on her back, holding a little girl in her hand, the three of them had just eaten something, and planned to flee on foot, the woman used to be a habitual offender of marriage fraud, and had murdered many husbands with her partners, she didn't want to be caught, because once caught, what awaited her was an endless prison life.

"Mom, why are we running?"

The child asked, and the woman shook her head and immediately said irritably.

"Shut up."

The woman was angry at the child, she quickened her pace, the woman had also considered, whether to run away, but after thinking, the woman still decided to run, her eyes were full of hatred to look at the child next to her, and the child on her back, for a moment the woman had a thought, when she came to the entrance of the town, stopped, looked at the young boy next to her.

"Owen, can you help take care of Shima?"

The little boy named Owen nodded, and the woman gave the baby girl named Hima on her back to her son Owen, which was not a woman's child, but another sister's child.

Owen carried the baby girl who had just fallen asleep on his back, and his weak body was so weak that he almost fell to the ground, and the woman touched Owen's head.

"You wait for your mother Owen in that women's room, and I'll pick you up in a few days."

Although Owen didn't quite understand, he still stretched out his little hand from the wide coat and grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes, the woman hesitated for a moment, she pressed her head in distress, if her husband hadn't died in the conflict a few months ago, she might not want to abandon the child, but now there is no way.

"Obedient Owen, you just need to be patient for a few days, and Mommy will come here to find you."

After the woman left some food, she ran quickly, and in an instant her bitter face was a lot lighter, and although there was still a trace of sadness between her eyebrows, the pace was getting faster and faster.

Owen just chased a few steps, the Shema on his back woke up and began to cry, the temperature in the barrier area will not be low, but the wind is too strong, Owen soon lost the shadow of his mother, he watched the scattered people walk by, and finally Owen returned to the broken house that his mother had just told him, and he began to put the Shema on his back to sleep.

The wind outside the house was very strong, and the wind whined when it poured into the house, and the sound outside was getting quieter and quieter, only the sound of plastic sand and stones rolling and slapping in the wind, and the whole ruined city was whimpering, but unlike in the past, in the past, in such whimpering, human voices could be heard, but now nothing can be heard.

Not everyone has left this place, this place is a paradise for most of the criminals today, in the past, the escaped criminals would often fight for survival resources, but now that there is a stable source of food and water, and even a little good thing in the city can be obtained from time to time, this place has gradually stabilized.

This place has become more and more stable, this city called Jizhigrad in the past, is a paradise for criminals, many local criminal gangs have also reached a consensus, work together to help make everything good here, and even meet some foreign criminals, if they do not follow the rules, they will be kicked out or directly solved.

There were even some simple barter trades that had already begun, but now that had all gone up with the looming sweep.

Those who did not leave were like Lao Cheng before, enjoying food and water wantonly, and making all preparations, many did not plan to be arrested back, and did not want to leave here, because many people were tired.

"Even if you go back to prison and finish squatting, it's not the same when you come out!"

"That's right, Lao Tzu has no way to go for a long time, if there was a road, Lao Tzu wouldn't do these things, grass."

"After you go out, you don't have to do these things in the end, otherwise how can you live."

A few drunken men, with weapons in their hands, were quietly waiting for something, at this time, many people in the city went to the west without exception, many people began to gather, and there were nearly hundreds of people who did not leave, most of them were holding a large number of weapons, and began to look for cover, many people looked extremely excited.

"If you fight with them, you can get a cushion and count it as earning."

Someone shouted, and from time to time there was bursts of laughter in the wind.

Owen curled up quietly in the small room, he didn't know what was going on, since he began to know the world, there was only black and gray, and the dilapidated city in front of him, he could only follow his mother every day, shuttling around this city, many times his mother would often let Owen wait outside some houses in exchange for some food.

Every time Owen waits very well-behaved, his mother will come out soon, in exchange for some food for Owen to eat, the life in front of him is satisfying for Owen, and he is actually quite happy every day, but this time Owen doesn't know how long it will take for his mother to come back.

"Mom, when are you coming back?"

Owen listened to the voices outside, and some cries sounded, and there were some remaining children in the city, the oldest was seven or eight years old, the youngest was only four or five years old, and even babies.

At this time, many children who were unattended began to cry, and Owen looked at a little girl who had played with him before passing in front of him, and he shouted, it seemed that the little girl who had just woken up was looking for her parents.

Although Owen has seen violence and death, things are a little strange today, Owen walked out, the little girl saw Owen and cried and asked where her parents had gone, Owen just shook his head and handed out some food.

The little girl stopped crying, and entered the little dilapidated house with Owen, who quietly watched everything outside, and at this time some of the adults began to gather some of the children into some small rooms, telling them not to come out.

At this time, outside the small dilapidated house, Lao Cheng walked in drunk with a gun.

"You two should go to the center of the city, it's going to be a battlefield soon."

Lao Cheng said, the little girl left obediently and followed the instructions of the adults outside, but Owen shook his head stubbornly.

"Mom said I'll wait for her here."

Lao Cheng said it again, but Owen still shook his head, he curled up in the corner, Mu Na looked at everything outside, Lao Cheng smiled.

"Good luck kid!"

4:28 p.m

Located in the middle of the city, the entrance of the city management office in the area is full of many people, most of whom are journalists, and some people have seen different colored signal flares outside the city, as well as some explosions of a certain scale.

The news in the city began to be reported, and Section 1 announced that a temporary briefing would be held here, and the people in the city would be informed of the actions of Section 3.

The reporters were anxiously waiting, but the doors of the city management office were still tightened, and they didn't know when they would open, and it was the hottest time of the day.

From time to time in the city, you can see the take-off and landing planes of the 11 and 4 divisions passing by, everyone knows that this is not a simple problem, and the discussion in the city has also begun, the most likely is that the 3 divisions have carried out a clean-up operation against the criminals entrenched in the barrier area, and such remarks have spread rapidly throughout the city.

Some human rights activists have also expressed their views in some news outlets, saying that if they do clean up, it will be unfair to those who do not commit serious crimes.

Finally, the door of the 1st Section City Management Office opened, and the reporters flocked in, and the hall had already been arranged, on a large platform, Julia, the secretary of the 1st Section, smiled and looked at the reporters who crowded in, and the live broadcast of the whole city had also begun, and the CBV had already arranged the live broadcast.

"Friends, dear citizens, please don't worry, this march in the barrier area of the 3 sections, as long as it is to investigate the criminals in the barrier area, it is true that the explosions and fires that everyone saw before, as well as the signal flares, were because they encountered some resistance on the way to the march, but a large number of criminals have been arrested, and everyone should know in the near future, please rest assured, our department will definitely round up the criminals in the barrier area under the condition of focusing on human rights. In recent years, it is also known that a large number of perpetrators are entrenched in the barrier area, constantly harassing the peace of the city. Crime has always been a major problem plaguing the city, and our department has been working to solve this problem for a long time, and in recent years, the north and west have been repeatedly harassed by criminals who have sneaked back into the city from the walled areas, and this operation is necessary in order to solve these problems once and for all! Please trust us to act in the department, this operation has been prepared for a long time, and please rest assured that it will not cause trouble to people in any city! ”

Julia was about to leave after finishing speaking, but the reporters began to ask questions, and Julia didn't intend to answer the reporter's questions, she turned around and walked directly into the backyard, and as soon as she got out of the backyard, Julia's face became solemn.

These things were supposed to be explained by Locke, but now that Locke has entered the halls of Congress with a large number of lawmakers, an impromptu city meeting is needed.

Casualties in the barrier area have been inevitable, and the exact number of casualties is known from the records of Section 4, nearly 387 people have been sent back from Section 3, and 198 people have died so far, which is a very high number, but these figures cannot be published.

Julia didn't know what to do, she was a little worried about the situation on Osman and Zijuan's side, the current problem was the most serious for the two of them, and there were a large number of casualties.

If the clean-up operation continues, the casualty toll will inevitably increase, but now that the operation has begun, it is difficult to stop, and the barrier area is extremely unfamiliar to the current city, and that barren land has been left for too many years.

"What should I do?"

4:48 p.m

The wind and sand in the barrier area began to lighten a little, the heat of the city began to subside, the temperature began to decrease, and near a small town in the northeast of the eastern garrison station, a large number of 3 section members gathered, and the battle had just ended less than half an hour.

The squad leader smoked silently, looking at the corpses of his own team members in front of him, which had been sorted out, he smiled bitterly, these team members were still talking and laughing with him a few hours ago, but now they had become cold corpses, and he didn't know what to do.

The members of the section who were busy checking and burning the bodies of the criminals around him, his expression was extremely heavy, this squad leader had been working from the management of the previous era to the present, and had experienced a series of problems such as factional struggles within the military section, fornication with criminals, etc., he had been in office for 15 years, although he had thought a long time ago that war would come one day.

Once this squad leader also dreamed of becoming a hero on the battlefield when the war came, which was the only thing that could reflect the value of the army, but now this squad leader doesn't think so.

In this seemingly small town, there are only about 200 criminals, but nearly 100 of them are mutants.

The battle that just ended was too tragic, the other side did not intend to surrender at all, several squads of people surrounded them, and nearly 100 people were killed and wounded in less than half an hour, until several directors arrived, and the battle was obviously deviated, and the bombing was originally intended, but in the end this place turned into a melee, and there was no way to withdraw one after another according to the previous training, and directly use the positioning bomber to clean up.

In the end, there were only about 30 criminals left, 179 were wiped out, no one knew what would happen next, obviously they received an order on this march to arrest the criminals if they encountered them, and if they resisted, they were allowed to shoot and shoot, many people felt that they had a complete battle plan, had sophisticated weapons and equipment, but the result was difficult for many people to accept.

This squad leader is still waiting for the order from above, he wants to go back, he can't bear it anymore, this only war that can reflect the value of 3 subjects is too cruel.

Some of the female staff were still crying, and Ling Hong waited quietly next to some of the female staff who had broken down, with a cigarette in her mouth, not knowing how to comfort them, or even what to do, or what they were doing.

It was much more brutal than the suppression of riots in the city, where many people were shooting people for the first time, and even though all aspects of the march had been taken into account, even possible casualties, the march began.

From time to time, a foul smell wafted from the distance, and this smell of burning permeated the entire town, and the bodies of the criminals who had confirmed the biological information were directly gathered and burned on the spot.

Ling Hong knew very well that the 3rd section had to find a breakthrough, and if it couldn't find a breakthrough, it would be squeezed by the internal pressure and eventually collapse.

Over the years, the question of the existence of the 3 departments in the city has been in a fierce discussion, and the number of people in the 3 departments is even more than that of the 5 departments, which is the largest number of the 13 departments, which consumes huge expenses every year, and the role is only a little useful in riots or large-scale protests in some areas, as well as some large gatherings of the majority of people and other things with a large flow of people, but these things can be handled by the 5 departments, especially at the moment when the Trinity Law is revised.

These questions, which had been backlogged for many years, eventually led to this march plan in the Barrier Zone, and it seems that sweeping up the criminals in the Barrier District has become the most important thing for the 3 Divisions at the moment, but everything has a price.

Ling Hong pressed her forehead, her thoughts had begun to stagnate at this time, and what lingered in her mind was the blackened woman and child in the previous place.

The environment in the city is getting better and better, and crime is basically only occasional, but these problems left over from the city are beginning to be pushed here, crossing the ravines and coming to the barrier area.

It is because of this problem that the 3rd Section must now set out to establish some small armament stations in the barrier area, and each armament station is equipped with at least 200 people, so that the problems on this land can be contained to the greatest extent.

Every year, many criminals come to this land, and then sneak back into the city in due course, causing some problems, and Latis has decided to build a large prison with a capacity of 200,000 people, although it has not started now, but it is all worth it for the future.

Ling Hong threw away the cigarette butt in her hand irritably, and began to walk around, she had been running here for more than 100 kilometers for a long time, she was already a little tired, and now she needed a little rest before the large army could continue to move forward.

The exact number of arrests is now less than 300, and most of the criminals in the fortified area have fought back strongly, and some have fled directly, and this operation is bound to turn into a war.

At this time, a squad leader hurriedly ran over.

"Lord Ling Hong, the signal station has been set up."

Ling Hong nodded, and directly turned on a light and shadow screen, and after just a few seconds, the signal was normal, and Latis directly dialed the number of the secretary Zijuan.

"You pig's head!"

Zijuan's curse came, but soon Zijuan said.

"Wait a minute, there's a pig's head sick here."

Ling Hong knew right away, it seemed to be a problem on the Ottoman side.

Zijuan turned off the communications, the wind and sand outside the house had gradually subsided, and a large amount of equipment was placed in the small tent, which was a mobile headquarters on a large military truck.

"If we stop acting now, the plan that has been prepared for so long, and the more than a billion invested in this plan will be in vain, and the efforts of tens of thousands of people will be wasted, and if the news comes back to the city, what will the people in the city think of our 3 sections?"

"There have been massive casualties."

Zijuan clasped her hands, looking at Osman's expression a little excited, after the casualties increased, Osman had already decided to stop this operation, but now 10,000 people, more than 300 squads have set foot in the barrier area, if you go back now, it is not realistic at all, and the follow-up problems caused by going back will make the whole city in an uproar.

"I can't go back now! Just because we have paid such a heavy price, we only need to encircle and suppress the place where the criminals are, and directly use heavy firepower weapons to strike and bomb, such casualties can be contained, Osman, if this plan fails, what awaits us in the back of the 3 divisions as a whole, use your pig's head to think clearly. ”

Zijuan said fiercely, Osman pressed his hands to his head, and he sat on a chair.

The command was still moving slowly, and some of the councillors on the periphery of the command were still waiting for the results, and everyone knew Osman's character, and it was impossible for him to continue.

Now the team has been fully assembled, with 20 nearby squads as a cluster, all waiting for the next order from the headquarters.

"This is the only plan that can reflect the meaning of our 3 divisions, think about the Ottomans, in this case, if we go back, what is it?"

Zijuan walked out of the headquarters in a big way, and several councillors outside leaned over, and Zijuan shook her head at them.

The Ottoman in the command looked sad and pressed his head, constantly patting, obviously he had been training for a whole year for this plan, but there were still so many heavy casualties, according to the current reported figures, the casualties were as high as 976, of which 349 were confirmed dead.

Many of the squads were ambushed while approaching some small towns, and there was a violent exchange of fire, and the weapons used by the criminals in the Barrier District were not bad, and it is certain that these weapons were developed independently somewhere in the city.

Hula

The curtain of the temporary headquarters was opened, and Zijuan walked in with a bunch of governors.

"From now on, I will be in charge of the command of the 3 sections, and Osman, you can go and rest."

Osman's eyes widened, and just as he wanted to say the words of waiting, Zijuan held up his mobile phone, there was an order document from Li Chu, and now the command of the 3rd section was in charge of the secretary Zijuan.

"Wait, Zijuan, we can ........"

"We can't wait any longer for the Ottomans, we need to continue to advance, and once the perpetrators are found, those who do not surrender will be directly cleaned up with heavy firepower, and then carry out round-up and clean-up operations."

Without waiting for Osman to turn on the light and shadow screen, the order had already been issued, and Osman found that his authority had been frozen, and he looked at Zijuan and the other councillors, who had already begun to get busy.

"It was because of the casualties that we had to continue the operation."

Zijuan said and looked at the helpless Osman with a serious expression.

"As the superiors, we have to carry it on our backs to do Ottoman, the 3rd section has been criticized for a long time, it has been the case since the management of the previous era, and if it continues, the 3rd section will come to an end, we must find a way out, and now the plan of the barrier area is the only way out for our 3rd section."

Bang

With a violent explosion, the car shook violently in an instant, but fortunately it stopped, and soon everyone began to get out of the car to check.

The attack came from a distance, and in the distance there was dust and sand, and it was some convoys, but fortunately this military truck had an automatic counterattack defense system, and when the missiles approached, they were directly destroyed by the light killing weapons.

Light blue particles surged up and down Zijuan's body, she threw away her hat directly, the person had already ejected, Osman raised a hand, only saw a light blue light running into the distance.

In a trance, Osman saw Jean's shadow, Zijuan respected the principal very much, and also approved of the principal's approach, Osman pressed his nose with one hand, and a stream of sourness came out, he didn't approve of the principal's approach.

In less than 1 minute, Zijuan caught up with the convoy and jumped to the top of a jeep in an instant, and for a while, several criminals on the opposite side looked at Zijuan in shock, and Zijuan stared at them with cold eyes.

"You're in bad luck to meet me!"

Zijuan raised a hand slightly, and in an instant, with a light blue light, the car under her suddenly fell apart, and with the splash of blood, Zijuan had already jumped to the car in front.
